The Fault in Our Term Systems
I thoroughly enjoyed the people that I met at this college, as well as the interesting classes I have had the opportunity of taking. On the other hand, I believe that the "D-Plan" (the name for the 10-week semester system in which students must be on for sophomore summer and off for another 2 terms of their choosing) is a faulty system that does not allow for true immersion in studies. It also can make people feel isolated as everyone is on campus or off campus for different terms. The terms go by too fast for some students to truly process and learn the curriculum, and overall is not conducive to a good time.
